- K1 Understand and use the terms population and sample; use samples to make informal inferences about the population; understand and use sampling techniques including simple random sampling and opportunity sampling; select or critique sampling techniques in context, including understanding that different samples can lead to different conclusions about the population.
Statistical sampling
- L2 Interpret scatter diagrams and regression lines for bivariate data, including recognition of scatter diagrams with distinct sections of the population; understand informal interpretation of correlation; understand that correlation does not imply causation; calculations involving regression lines are excluded.
